Staff Platform Manager - GTM & Ops Tooling

The Community you will join:

Every day, Airbnb hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. Since our founding, more than 5 million hosts have welcomed over 1.5 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe.

The Supply organization plays a pivotal role in driving the company’s growth and expansion efforts worldwide. This team recruits and develops Airbnb’s global supply of high-quality Homes, Hotels, Services and Experiences. With this focus on quality supply and international expansion, the team is leading the way for Airbnb’s continued growth and facilitation of millions more host and guest connections.

The difference you will make:

Airbnb is seeking a Platform Manager to build and improve the internal tools and workflows that power Airbnb's Supply operations teams. These are the teams that vet, onboard, and support hosts at scale and the systems that support them are fragmented, manual, and difficult to measure. This role owns the tooling and workflow infrastructure that changes that: assessing current state, designing scalable replacements, and driving delivery through to adoption.

You sit at the intersection of operations and technology, translating how work actually gets done into structured, measurable systems. You are as comfortable mapping a broken workflow with an ops team as you are writing a product brief or evaluating a build vs. buy decision.

A typical day:

• Define the multi-year strategy for Airbnb's ops platform - bring a specific, opinionated proposal for what operational support looks like in 12+ months as AI takes on more of the execution, and maintain a prioritized roadmap balancing quick wins against foundational investments
• Align vision, OKRs, strategy, and roadmap with senior leaders across Supply, Engineering, and Operations; present progress to leadership on an ongoing basis
• Design AI-forward operational processes and determine necessity of human-in-the-loop across or within workflows including augmented decision making judgement
• Decompose multidimensional product-to-ops problems define the operational requirements, and drive a coherent solution across many owning teams
• Own case management and workforce management tooling: capacity planning, workload distribution, performance measurement, and forecasting that give operations leadership visibility and control — including forecasting for a workforce where AI agents and humans share the queue
• Write exceptional product briefs that are specific, opinionated, and grounded in operational reality, then prototype, iterate with engineering, and own the outcome through launch and adoption
• Navigate and align many PMM and engineering teams whose roadmaps this work depends on and negotiate sequencing, resolve conflicting constraints, and hold a clear point of view on tradeoffs

A Note on Recruiting Scams: Scammers sometimes pose as Airbnb recruiters to get money or personal information from candidates. A few things that will always be true for Airbnb’s hiring process: our open roles are posted on Airbnb’s Career’s Page at careers.airbnb.com, and our recruiters correspond only from @airbnb.com or @ext.airbnb.com email addresses. Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing. We’ll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process. We encourage candidates to remain vigilant of these recruiting scams and not share sensitive information if you do not believe an individual is actually affiliated with Airbnb.
